Strategy Overview

Investment Objective

  • To generate an attractive level of current income while limiting interest rate risk

Investment Strategy

  • Through sector rotation and security selection decisions, we seek to generate consistent excess returns in all market environments
  • Use the index as a proxy for duration, not market weightings, and opportunistically position the portfolio based on cross sector relative value
  • Leverage our boutique size by focusing on less crowded areas of the fixed income market, including those not included in the index
  • Control for risk at the security, sector and portfolio level
